Had 2 days in Kyoto visiting the popular sites as well as the lesser known sites such as Mt Kurama. Kay is easy going, friendly and knowledgeable. She made my stay in Kyoto most memorable. Thank you. Winston
Hi, Winston. Thank you for taking time and sending me kind feedback. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the 2-days tour. I also had a great time with you such as a quiet coffee shop you found and Mt. Kurama. Kyoto has a lot of off-the-beaten spots with their seasonal beauty other than Mt. Kurama. See you soon. Kay
Great experience with very friendly and great knowledge guide. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. Thanks to your help, we conducted a great tour. See you soon. Kay
I enjoyed two customized long days trips organized by Kay travelling from Kyoto to lesser visited temples, shrines and nature sights in Nara and Wakayama prefectures. My wishes for the trips were fulfilled thanks to Kay’s care and guiding input.
Thank you for your attending the tour. I'm very happyto hear you are satisfied with Nara and Wakayama tour. Kansai area has still a lot of beautiful places to visit , so I hope you travel again and enjoy the area.
